概要
If you can corrupt language, you can corrupt thought. If you can corrupt thought, you can make people accept anything.
In this episode, we pair Orwell's famous essay on political language with selections from Nineteen Eighty-Four. Not the surveillance state everyone remembers, but the linguistic project beneath it: Newspeak. A language designed to make dissent literally unspeakable.
Orwell's essay is practical. He catalogs the tricks: dying metaphors, pretentious diction, meaningless words. He shows how political writing becomes a defense of the indefensible by making it sound routine.
The novel takes it further. What happens when these aren't just bad habits, but policy? When the goal isn't persuasion but the elimination of the concepts needed to resist?
